Very low output from iBeam Active System (Classical)

Hey lilith,
Thanks for posting.

What are you plugging your iBeam into as far as an amp or mixer?

Since the iBeam wasn't really designed for harps, I can't say how loud or how quiet the output level should be. Since the iBeam is a pickup and not a mic, singing into it won't amplify as well either. That's just the nature of the soundboard-style pickup.

Hi there,

I purchased & installed the iBeam Active (Classical, nylon) on my Rees Harpsicle. I followed the installation instructions provided by Rees...

But I’m getting very, very low signal from the pickup (really quiet), even when I play very hard... or even sing in to the pickup.

What can I do to troubleshoot this?
